Can someone check my answer?
Q:r.
Harry rides his bike 25 3/8 miles. Karen rides her bike 25 2/8 miles. Who rides farther?
A:Karen rode farther.
This is because 3/8 is about 37/100 and 2/5 is 40/100.
Since both fractions have 25 as a mixed number for them, I didn't have to use 25.
I'm pretty sure I'm correct, I just want someone to double check! Please help!
I think you put the numbers in wrong. 25 3/8 and 25 2/8? seems obvious which one is greater
I'm sorry I did. The question said 2/5
Yes, you're right.
Yup
help me or bring me the manerjer
@karen, u r not helping the situation. I will be calling the manag-
To double-check your answer, you can compare the decimal equivalents of the fractions to determine which is greater. Here's how you can do it:
1. Convert both fractions to decimal form:
- 3/8 = 0.375
- 2/8 = 0.25
2. Compare the decimal values:
Since 0.375 is greater than 0.25, you were correct in stating that 3/8 is approximately equal to 37/100 and therefore, Karen rode farther.
Your answer, Karen rode farther, is correct! Well done!
